Oh hai Tab, very long time no see.
The lady is old now :(  her face is rapidly turning grey.

She is also about 70kg

and now has a greyhound as her best mate

Crikey 70kg! Phil and I have two Huskies and the fat one is 25kg. 

I dropped by here the other day looking for an old video of driver training that I've lost and still recognised some names! 

I had to sell my car back in Feb 2016 due to bubs #1. Still miss that car ?

Sup everyone, yep still alive, who would have thought dad lyfe was so demanding lol, anyway I have a question I remember a while back there are a few guys here that ride bikes and am thinking to get myself a dirt bike, have about a budget of 2k, reckon that would get me something for a bit of casual fun, also anyone I can call on to help me inspect some bikes with as not ridden a bike in about 15 or more years, and I dont think that they are steam driven anymore ha ha, oh and if u have a bike am keen to go out riding to?

you missed me by about 18 months. Off the chook chasers now and on the road. Currently riding a Royal Enfield Interceptor, which is pretty fun.

For 2k what ever you end up with, its going to teach you a LOT about fixing bikes :P Avoid anything KTM (fantastic powerful bikes, fragile aF and will cost the earth to fix)

If you want to ride it to and from the bush, try not to go under 400cc.. Suzukis are good, DR-z400 and DR650 (if you dont mind it a bit agricultural) but goes forever. You just need to do a fair bit to them for the bush, so keep an eye out for ones with lots of bolt ons. The owner, he knows ;)

Or just get a postie bike, they are fkn hillarious fun, there is a whole world of bolt on bits available, and its got no clutch so you can teach your missus to ride it. 

Its ugly AF, but an absolute diamond in the rough, (soooooo much styling potential) but if I was going to buy another one, this is what I would look at first

WR's are good bikes,  but damn high maintenance to keep them running.  

They also don't have a cush drive in the back wheel,  so if you ride them on the road it destroys the gearbox pretty quick,  so I would avoid a motard  version like the plague.

But i have a KTM. 300exc, real widow maker. The new 350's are awesome bikes.

 

Stay away from anything honda, the older kawasakis are not too bad. i have always had 2 strokes, but have recently picked up a wr250f 4 stroke, for me being 100kg it struggles a bit.

Doing the same as Dale now and looking out for a Thruxton to ride on the road

@Stinky Rooster I never knew you were still kicking around on here. I just came for a quick interjection ..

There was an old Sci Fi book ( I mean way old ) where basically you could jack different "shards" I think they were called into your brain and suddenly you had a wealth of knowledge about a certain subject. 

I am currently preparing the block and cleaning out all the old shitty gasket crap , got 1/2 an idea what I am going but I just thought , what if you could just automatically be a guru at any given subject that's on hand? And no, I have not had any illicit substances or drank a bunch of booze lol

I just want to know how good the surface of the block needs to be to ensure the new head gasket has every chance of success.

Currently working on it gently with an angle grinder

 

 

 

 

J/K!

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
